Before you start
To translate a phone call in real time, you need:
- A smartphone (iPhone or Android)
- The AI Call app (free, available on App Store and Google Play)
- The phone number of the person you want to call
- To know which language they speak
That's it. The other person needs nothing — no app, no account, no setup.
Step 1: Download AI Call
Download AI Call free from the App Store or Google Play.
No account is required to start making translated calls.
Step 2: Open the app and select languages
When you open AI Call:
- You will see your language on one side (e.g. English)
- Select the language the other person speaks on the other side (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, Spanish)
- AI Call supports 100+ languages — tap to search or scroll to find theirs
Step 3: Enter the phone number and call
Enter the phone number of the person you want to call — exactly as you normally would, including country code for international calls.
Tap the call button. AI Call places the call through your phone's network.
> The other person receives a completely normal phone call. They pick up and hear a translated voice. They can speak in their language and you will hear it translated into yours.
Step 4: Speak naturally
Once the call connects:
- Speak normally in your language
- AI Call detects when you are speaking, translates your words, and delivers them as natural speech to the other person — in under 0.5 seconds
- When the other person speaks, their words are translated back to you instantly
- A live transcript appears on your screen so you can follow along visually
You do not need to pause, press buttons, or use a special speaking style. Just talk as you normally would.
Step 5: End the call normally
When you are done, end the call as you normally would. AI Call does not store your call audio — the translated conversation is processed in real time and discarded when the call ends.
Tips for the best translation quality
- Speak at a normal pace — Very fast speech or heavy background noise can affect accuracy
- Use a quiet environment when possible, especially for business or important calls
- Check the live transcript on screen if you are unsure you heard something correctly
- Select the right dialect if available (e.g. Brazilian Portuguese vs European Portuguese, Castilian vs Latin American Spanish)
